Open Signal Board Nominations Due

Open Signal Board Nominations Due

Open Signal's Board Governance Committee will review applications February 4th.

Open Signal’s Board Governance Committee would appreciate your nomination for individuals to join our board of directors. As you know, board members serve critical roles for Open Signal including being:

  • A champion for our mission, values, service, and story to the community
  • A steward of key relationships between Open Signal and the communities we serve
  • An informed collaborator and inquisitive partner with our leadership team in making decisions on policies, practices, and other organizational matters to achieve our goals

In addition, we hope your nominations will consider the current need of the board in the areas of finance, human resources, law, and fundraising. Diversifying the perspectives and skillsets of board members is central to ensuring that you have a board that can support your work, provide mentorship, and stands beside you as we move into the next chapter of Open Signal’s story.

If someone comes to mind for you, please use the this form to nominate. Nominees do not need to have prior board service experience, but if they do, it’s important that they understand Open Signal is a place where we expect folks to roll up their sleeves and be part of the team.

Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis, so there will be more opportunities to nominate!

Open Signal is a Safer Space

Open Signal is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for the community. Open Signal is a Safer Space for people of color, immigrants, gender non-conforming, low/no income groups, houseless, people with disabilities, linguistically diverse and other marginalized communities who have experienced systemic racism, sexism, classism and/or oppression. We encourage the creation and sharing of content that expresses a wide variety of cultural, social, political and spiritual perspectives. Treating all people with respect and kindness is expected - even if you don’t agree with all perspectives.

We require all members of our community to agree to our Safer Space Community Guidelines and to be accountable for the impact of their actions on others who use the space. Physical and verbal abuse will not be tolerated. All threats will be taken seriously, and will result in removal from the facility.
